The left, seduced by the culture wars and identity politics, largely ignores the primacy of capitalism and the class struggle. As long as unregulated capitalism reigns supreme, all social, economic, cultural and political change will be cosmetic. Capitalism, at its core, is about the commodification of human beings and the natural world for exploitation and profit. To increase profit, it constantly seeks to reduce the cost of labor and demolish the regulations and laws that protect the common good. But as capitalism ravages the social fabric, it damages, like any parasite, the host that allows it to exist. It unleashes dark, uncontrollable yearnings among an enraged population that threaten capitalism itself.

Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, she did a third-wave feminism thing. She said ‘lean in.’ It captures this identity politics that has become toxic on the left. What does ‘lean in’ mean? It means women should lean in and go as far as they can in the corporation. They should become, as she has, a major, wealthy executive of a leading corporation. When feminism was turned into that kind of leaning in, it created an identity politics that legitimizes the very system that needs to be critiqued. The early feminists were overtly socialists. As was Martin Luther King. But all that got erased.

Some of the greatest american literature was written by the african americans who spearheaded the harlem renaissance. That's who you are. That's the heart of your culture before it was torn asunder by outside forces. Frederick Douglass's love for reading and writing gave your people freedom and all you're doing is celebrating that - you're acting more black than anybody who has the nerve to say that you're acting white.

Anyway, that’s strange, never happened to me. At most I’ve gotten “you talk white” when I was younger but I’ve never been slighted for reading. I don’t know any black people who don’t admire or partake in some sort of intellectualism these days, everyone’s reading theory. Do you have black friends? Do you seriously feel more comfortable coming to a bunch of alienated white kids for solace than our own community? It rubs me the wrong way when black anons post stuff like this, like, what’s the goal? Unless you’re some non-Black kid making jokes, which is equally weird.

Correct. I guess semantically speaking the accurate term would be 'near everything' or perhaps 'everything relevant to modern collective life'. Then again, the stockmarket giveth and taketh away. The stockmarket works in mysterious ways.

"near everything" would include parts of the universe we have no way of verifying
"everything relevant to modern collective life" would be a subjective judgement by someone who thinks american culture is everything or near everything. and who also seems to think that the stock market is mysterious compared to the bond market or futures, when all these things are more predictable than weather on planet earth, which we know a lot more about than weather on jupiter

It is farcical that you consider your very limited cultural and economic exposure to be capable of speaking of "everything", and far more facetious to do so than to include the universe as part of the set of "everything". You have both overestimated your intelligence and your importance, alongside overestimating the importance of the culture which gave rise to a retard like you.
You do not understand things and therefore find them mysterious, but the American stock market is one of the most predictable stock markets in the world due to government interference. There is a simple reason, utterly beyond your comprehension, why algorithm trading on US stock markets is far more common and necessary than in other markets, especially on certain dates.
You are a retard talking out of your ass with a very limited view of even your own culture, which is still nowhere near "everything" in any sense of the word.

You mostly get accused of "acting white" by other blacks. 'Cordial' whites will quadruple-lutz-spine-snap themselves into some other kind of euphemism at their surprise at blacks having non-stereotypical interests or hobbies. I had a lot of business professionals in my family, so they were always all in on the "get an education, read whatever you want", but there was a handful of my primary and secondary classmates that were hostile to anything they perceived to be white.

It's partially a poorfag crabs-in-a-bucket thing. I've known a lot of low-income white guys who also got shit on for reading when they were younger because of the "you think you're better than me!?" perception it elicits.
